Brief summary

This objective study to verify the effect of physical training with and without behavioral cognitive therapy, compared with controls, in functional capacity and cardio-metabolic profile in individuals with morbidly obese

Detailed description

This study is a Randomized Clinical Trial, with individuals with morbid obesity, and will be consists of 3 groups: 1. Group 1 (G1 EXERCISE): This group will participate in an physical exercise program twice a week in hospital. 2.

Group 3 (G3 - CONTROL): This group will keep medical appointments information and routine procedure in the hospital. Will be included in study the individuals with morbid obesity who do not have contraindications to practice low-intensity exercise. Exclusion criteria are contraindications to physical exercise, individuals with cardiovascular disease with reduced functional capacity (class III and IV of the New York Heart Association), orthopedic problems, severe retinopathy, severe neuropathy, drug addicts and severe mental illness, metabolic or blood pressure decompensated.

Interventions

OTHERG1 -Exercise

20 minutes of aerobic exercises of low intensity (2-4 on the Borg scale) in the rhythm of different songs that encourage their implementation. After these exercises will be performed five minutes of stretching exercises. Furthermore the similar treatment to G3.
